Ezekiel 13:1 In-Context

1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Yisra'el who prophesy, and say you to those who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear you the word of the LORD:

3 Thus says the Lord GOD, Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

4 Yisra'el, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

5 You have not gone up into the gaps, neither built up the wall for the house of Yisra'el, to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
